Well written and easy to follow, my personal favorite.

I have been programming in COBOL for less than a year and have worked through several other COBOL books. This one has better explanations and tips than the others. It has been especially helpful in making sense out of some of the 'old code' that I have to maintain. The type of code they write about is waht I see in production every day. It is well worth the cover price. The one drawback is that there is no disk with sample code or a free complier.
